Awesome!!! BANG! Rewind! Ahahha!
Awesome dude! This is what I'm talking about! Yeah Haneke! Mmmm hmmmm! You sure do know how to get a gore, tension, violence, hopelessness movie fans blood pumping! My inner sadist was laughing up a storm over here. Is this boi trying to give me a heart attack from laughter? Comedy should be added to the label because as far as I'm concerned it was basically a black comedy. I love how the family was screwed either way. There is no way the audience was intended to root for anything but their destruction. I was actually on the killers side the whole time and was sad when mario got shot. Good thing Luigi rewinded and fixed things. The rewind scene was fantastic btw. It was like a giant middle finger to people who wanted the family to survive and be happy. That he even went as far as to have the child killed...epic! Truly fantastic. I just wish it was a bit more graphic in terms of violence though.
I also loved how the mario bros (my cute nickname for em) would look into the camera and smile and wink. It's like this film was made for people like me! My silly hippie friend told me this was an anti-violence movie, that I should see it, take a good look at myself and what I'm supporting, and some other pretentious babble but w/e. He was probably lying. I enjoyed the violence anyway. The family was annoying as hell. I think Haneke should team up w/ the Saw guy. They could really work some magic. Some bloody magic.
Btw is there more gore in the remake and is he planning some sequels? Thx in advance. Just the fact they were suffering was more than enough but I would have welcomed some onscreen torture. Any reason he didn't include much?
